Oh, hey, hold up there. You want a PRACTICAL standpoint? Here we go - none of it matters, no one cares. Neither of us are getting laid, both of us have gotten burned in the past by significant others, and despite this both of us want an SO but for whatever reason remain alone. We've got ideas about what love might be, and other people might not agree with them, but it doesn't really matter because we aren't other people. This discussion certainly isn't going to change any of that, let alone our understanding of the world or ourselves, but we're keeping it going out of boredom, morbid curiosity, and an enjoyment of being able to talk to someone capable of parsing and responding in polysyllabalics. The only way any of this is going to change is if we get off our arses, put the past behind us, and start actually finding people we could live our lives with, but that ain't gonna happen. THAT'S the practical view. |
